Dr. Richard cared for my mother who was diagnosed with breast cancer. He is one of the best doctors I have encountered. He was very patient, discussed the treatment step by step, was always available for calls or walk-ins and always demonstrated a sense of urgency when caring for my mother. Dr. Richard really cares for his patients and I highly recommend him He went above and beyond when caring for my mother and we all really appreciated it!
